Oct. 25, 2013 -- Calvin Duske

Calvin Duske, 6, stood in awe Sunday with Chiefs president and CEO Clark Hunt and his brother, Dan, on the field at Arrowhead Stadium and high-fived the Chiefs players as they came off the field following their final warmup for the Houston Texans.

His day had begun a few hours earlier when a shiny limo picked him and his family up for the trip to Arrowhead. At the Founders Club, I met up with Calvin. We took the stage with Steven St. John, and Calvin talked with me about being the Chiefs Channel 9 Dream Child. He predicted the Chiefs would beat the Texans.

From the Founders Club, we were escorted to the field at Arrowhead. Calvin couldn't believe he and his family were on this magical trip. On the field, we waved into the Jumbotron camera as videographers taped us for presentation later in the game.

Minutes later, Channel 9 photographer Cliff Irwin arrived and I taped an interview with Calvin for use on our 6 p.m. news on Monday. Calvin explained what an awesome experience he was having. He said his favorite player was Alex Smith. He said he liked hotdogs at the game. Calvin was deputized as an honorary Jackson County sheriff's deputy. He got to wear the actual badge. He met lots of popular people who were taking part in the pregame festivities.

From there we headed upstairs, meeting and posing for pictures with Warpaint and his handler. Calvin got to watch the game in a luxury suite and the Chiefs won, 17-16. It was all part of a special day, something that's been going on for Dream Factory kids since Lamar Hunt started the program more than 25 years ago.
